She has an eight-year-old brother, Kayden, and parents, Eugene and Catherine, who work full-time. In September this year, this happy family’s life took an unexpected turn: Kayla was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukaemia. Since then, Kayla has been in and out of hospital for tests and treatments. She's received the news that she will have to get a bone marrow transplant to enable full recovery.
